It all starts with the soil...

The foundation of all turf and plant health begins with healthy soil.  At Organic Lawns™ we understand the nature of poor soil and the causes and effects on plant growth. There are many contributing factors that lead to poor soil structure. The two primary culprits are soil compaction, due to large amounts of non-porous clay, much like what you find in the Southeast and second, a high content of residual salt from salt based fertilizers. Compacted areas aren't conducive to microbial activity. This activity in the soil is what breathes life into soil and allows plants to fully develop their root systems. In part, the Organic Lawns’ Bio-Plus lawn care program introduces live beneficial bacteria, fungi and other microbial life directly into the soil thru the use of compost teas, fortified granular soil conditioners and organic based granular fertilizers enhanced with trace elements and calcium.

It is estimated that 15% of your property value can be attributed to the overall appearance of your landscape, often referred to as "curb appeal." Neglected lawns, ornamental trees as well as shrubs in decline can take away from the value of your property.

We generally start our customers on a bridge program (organic based) to wean there lawn off drugs (chemical fertilizers). Chemical fertilized lawns become dependent on the quick fix associated with synthetic fertilizers. Because the organic infrastructure (microbial profile) has been destroyed or wreaked, by the use of salt based fertilizers the plants can’t not survive without first re-building the life within the soil.

Our bio-enhanced, custom blended organic based fertilizers help to detoxify and buffer the chemicals and salts that prevent bioactivity in the soil. It helps generate the soil-improving microbes as well as providing numerous plant trace nutrients and bio-stimulants.
 

 

The result… Environmental harmony thru organics.
